SWNOVELS Chapter 42 AN EGG
LUO YAN was running towards the Silent Marsh. After logging in, his first thought was to go there. He’s planning to check the dragon. It would probably take a long time before he could find another dragon in this game, so he wanted to see the one near him now. Well, of course, unless he met a player that belonged to the dragon race. He heard those players could transform into their dragon form.
He didn’t want to wait to meet those players. Why would he when he could see one right now?
He couldn’t help but feel excited. Considering how real everything was in this game, he wondered if the dragon would look real too. If it was, then it would feel like he actually saw a dragon in real life. That would be kind of amazing, right?
Upon reaching the Silent Marsh, he first looked at the direction of the lake. It still looked as it was when he first saw it. As if not having Filli as the Eternal Lotus’ source of food didn’t affect it. Well, this was a game so unless it was involved again in another task, it’s state would probably not change. He no longer looked at it and just walked towards the direction of the cave.
Because the cave was located at the very far North side area of the marsh, it took awhile before Luo Yan reached it. When he did, his eyes immediately widened. Because the mouth of the cave was much, much larger than he thought it would be. It was almost as tall as a small building. But if he thought about it carefully, a dragon was supposed to be sleeping inside, so something like this was only natural.
Before entering, he first took a deep breath and then took out the Invisibility Cloak from his Items Tab. Even if the dragon was asleep, it wouldn’t hurt to be careful. This way, his presence wouldn’t accidentaly wake the dragon. He put on the cloak and then entered the cave.
The inside was dark but because of the elves’ good night vision, add that to the fact that moon elves were more used to dark surroundings, Luo Yan could see the inside fairly well. Nothing was out of the ordinary. But as he went deeper and deeper, he noticed some gold coins and other small golden items scattered on the ground. Then he heard the sound of a loud snoring. It’s not similar to a man’s but more of that of a beast’s.
Luo Yan carefully made his way towards the source of the snoring. When he reached his destination, his feet suddenly felt like it was nailed on the ground. His jaw almost dropped in amazement and shock. Because in front of him was a very large sleeping dragon. Although he already expected it, seeing it was a totally different experience.
The dragon had black scales almost as dark as that Umbra metal he got from the Gatekeeper. He was only as tall as its snout, showing just how big it was. There was a nasty scar that spanned from its forehead, crossed its left eye, and then ended at the corner of its mouth. Making the dragon looked a bit sinister. It only looked less evil because it was asleep. If it was awake now, it would surely look similar to those villainous dragon who razed cities and ate humans.
Luo Yan gulped. Even asleep, he could tell that this dragon was really powerful. Good thing that hidden task didn’t involve it at all. Or else, he might only be able to finish it once he’s at a very high level.
He opened his Status Window and planned to take a screenshot of the sleeping dragon. He’s planning to show it to Luo Jin once they met tomorrow at Olkdale Town. Now that he thought about it, he probably should also take screenshots of the village and show it to his brother as well. Since Luo Jin wouldn’t be able to enter the moon elves’ Origin Village.
The two of them already talked that they would meet at Olkdale Town tomorrow. Since, according to Luo Jin, he’d be done with all his tasks tonight.
Luo Yan looked for a good angle to showcase the majesty of the black dragon. Once he’s done, he looked around the surroundings and was once again shocked by what he saw. It was gold, gold everywhere. There were all kinds of golden items. Because he was more focused on the dragon, he didn’t notice the mountain of gold surrounding the dragon.
Just look at all these gold. He remembered a famous saying that dragons loved gold. In this case, it was probably true. He was thinking if he should take some of these gold when he saw an object that looked so out of place among all the items.
It was an egg. A very white egg, probably the size of a human a.d.u.l.t’s arm.
What’s this egg? Surely it’s not the dragon’s egg. If it was, then the dragon would surely not just left it there, completely unprotected. Before falling into a deep sleep, it would probably put the egg at least under its wings or something.
It was placed not too far from the dragon and was on top of one of the small mountains of gold. Being inside this cave, this egg was surely not just an ordinary egg. Luo Yan was tangled for a moment. Should he take it or not? He’s afraid that if he did, the dragon would wake up somehow. That’s usually how it was, right?
But really, it would be a shame if he didn’t take this egg. Just looking at it, he could already feel that it was special. Remembering the new pet system, maybe what’s inside this egg could be his pet? With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated. contemporary romance
Luo Yan moved as carefully as he could. Once he reached the small mountain of gold where the egg was, he jumped and then immediately grabbed the egg. He didn’t even bother looking at the sleeping dragon. He put the egg in his Items Tab and then ran towards the entrance of the cave as fast as he could. He was running like his life was depended on it. He only managed to breath a sigh of relief when he was truly out of the cave.
But he didn’t stop there. He continued running until he was out of the area of the Silent Marsh. He looked back. The dragon didn’t make a move. It was still asleep! Which meant that the egg was most certainly unrelated to the dragon.
He opened his Items Tab and looked at the information of the egg.
Unknown Egg
- As the name said, the origin of this egg was unknown. Please wait until it hatched. To make sure it would hatch safely, please put it in an artificial beast incubator as soon as possible.
Okay. Now he couldn’t help but wonder what’s inside this egg.
